Actually instead of Chex, my cousin makes it with Crispix, and it holds even MORE diabetes/heart disease with each bite!

Tom said:

Aww..he's cute, he reminds me of:

I had one of these. When he was a puppy everyone wanted to pet him, they thought he was sooo cute. But they didnt realise when he was biting them he wasn't just doing puppy chewing, he was really trying to eat thier hand. He would get mad if you tried to pet him, he just wanted to bite you. He was mean. He would bite your legs or what ever.

Can you make it with that all-natural peanut butter? That's the only kind I use....also, what sorts of chex do you use?

applekisses said:

I wouldn't. Any time I've used natural peanut butter in recipes, they don't turn out right. I think that recipes calling for peanut butter are created using peanut butter that is filled with chemicals (partially hydrogenated oil). If you are going to use natural peanut butter in recipes, it would throw the sugar and fat meausurements off.

Excellent point...I didn't think about that!

OMG. I used to make that stuff all the time in Chicago and bring it into work around the holidays. It was my "specialty" lol. People on the east coast don't really seem to like it as much...I brought it to work last year and no one ate it.

I use Crispex cereal though too, milk chocolate chips; and I've never added vanilla...and I go easy on the powdered sugar--just a dusting. (My mom adds so much the shit is white!)



Applekisses, I use reduced fat Peanut Butter and not much powdered sugar (not that it makes a huge diff, but maybe shaves a few calories off).

PUPPY CHOW

9 cup Chex
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Put cereal in large bowl. Melt chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Pour over Chex cereal, put into a large plastic bag with powdered sugar and shake well to coat.




Spread mixture evenly on wax paper and allow to cool.

Can you make it with mini pretzels instead of the cereal? (yes, I have PMS )

Oh my gawd, my sister made that stuff a couple of years ago. I suggest avoiding it at all costs.

If anybody accidentally encounters some, please feel free to send it to me for disposal.

screw the organic, I bought the ingredients and Im making it NOW!

SpisaRibb said:

so...you live in chicago? what are you doing right now? want company? can i bring guests?

these are all hypothetical questions (not they're not), of course.

Anx said:

who were you thinking of bringing?

sorry,

I just got done making it, and somehow it has mysteriously VANISHED!
